Sofa cushions #2-4

Four new cushions in total now, just one more to re-cover.

The two larger ones are made with a furnishing fabric called Pohutakawa that I picked up on special in Spotlight yesterday. The soft green matches well (I took my tote bag to the shop with me so I could find something with a big pattern that would complement the Comma fabrics). I think it's cool how the flower shape/pattern echoes the motifs in the Comma designs too - serendipity!

This is the second one I've made with the Comma fabrics, just quilted it with some straight lines.

Everything (with a warm batting inside it) has the Rumbles seal of approval of course! (Bess, in the background, would just approve of being allowed inside at all!)

Of course normally I would not have so much going on one sofa but as you can see the second sofa is kinda full already (is like this most days of the holidays/weekends) so I will spread some of the cushions across that as soon as a space becomes available..."KIERAN! Take a break already!!"

Gosh, I am quite flattered to think other crafters are pinning MY work, very exciting! I am thrilled to be able to inspire - the straight line quilting was a success - I had a quilt-shop staffer admire it on my tote bag last weekend too! Have a good week!

Thanks Valerie - I am just wondering if I should create an outfit for my son in the same fabrics so he really fits in with the decor (but it's back to school again so hopefully he won't look like such a permanent fixture on the sofa!)Have a good week!
